Searching For A Program By Pty Codes - JVC RX-668RBKJ Instructions Manual

Searching for a Program by PTY Codes

One of the advantages of the RDS service is that you can locate a
particular kind of program from the preset channels (see page 13) by
specifying the PTY codes.
• To stop searching any time during the process, press PTY
SEARCH while searching.
• When pressing the buttons on the remote control, make sure that
you have selected the FM station using the remote control. If not,
the RDS operation buttons do not work for RDS operation.
(Pressing FM/AM activates the remote control for RDS
operation.)
To search for a program using the PTY codes
Before you start, remember...
• The PTY Search is only applicable to preset stations only.
• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is
canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.
1. Press PTY SEARCH while
listening to an FM station.
"PTY SELECT" flashes on the display.
2. Press and hold cursor control @ /
# on the front panel (or PTY + / –
on the remote control) until the
PTY code you want appears on the
display, while "PTY SELECT" is
flashing.
The display gives you the PTY codes described to the right.
3. Press PTY SEARCH again, while
the PTY code selected in the
previous step is still on the display.
While searching, "SEARCH" and the
selected PTY code alternate on the display.
The receiver searches 30 preset FM stations, stops when it finds
the one you have selected, and tunes in that station.
To continue searching after the first stop
Press PTY SEARCH again while the indications on the display are
flashing.
If no program is found, "NOTFOUND" appears on the display.
